Conan the Destroyer (1984) Edit

A dream. Only a dream.

A great warrior.

A great woman.

A jewelled horn. Only she can procure it.

A nightmare. lmaginings out of excitement.

A real man.

After we have our fun with her.

After we return to Shadizar, what will you do?

Akiro, where is she?

Akiro!

All an illusion.

All I've seen is you.

All my tribe are warriors.

All our destinies are at hand, even Conan's,

Alone?

And Bombaata takes the girl and the horn back to her.

And Bombaata takes the girl and the horn back to her.

And for her to know him, they have to...

And grab her by the...

And I have to be able to fight it with magic.

And she's a warrior too?

And she's tied to the stake.

And the rise of the sons of Arius,

And then swing it over your head.

And trod the jewelled thrones of the earth beneath his sandalled feet,

And we who give him life will stand by his right hand and rule the world with him.

And wore his crown upon a troubled brow.

And you will have to deal with it.

Another queen?

As it was written in the scrolls of Skelos.

At least they coulda washed you first.

At length, he sought adventure in distant lands

At the bottom, behind the waterfall, there's an entrance.

At the first sign of life in our god, the girl must be sacrificed.

At your service.

Back to the crypt!

Behind the dragon there's a tunnel. It could be our only way out.

Between the years when the oceans drank Atlantis

Bombaata took her.

Bombaata, get out!

Bombaata, stop!

Bombaata, where are you?

Bombaata!

Bombaata!

Bombaata!

Bombaata!

Bombaata!

Bombaata.

Bombaata.

Bombaata.

Bring it to me.

But come... come anyway.

But how can I? How many times have I seen a man?

But it's her destiny. It can't be stopped.

But then what? I mean, you've got him. What do you do with him?

Can't you judge for yourself?

Come bring her, Conan.

Come here.

Conan must die.

Conan, help!

Conan, there are six of them against her.

Conan, wait! We must go this way.

Conan! Look!

Could there ever be... anyone else but her?

Cousin's sister's brother. How many times do I have to tell you that?

Crom!

Crom!

Dagoth will arise.''

Do as I ask of you and I will.

Do something!

Do you have the treasure?

Do you see this woman over there?

Do you think he's handsome?

Do you think that I could ever be one?

Doesn't that animal look familiar?

Don't kill her too soon!

Don't stop. Hurry! Hurry!

Down the steps!

Drink.

Enough talk!

Everybody out!

Excuse me. I must get up now.

Fine magician you are. go back to juggling apples.

From the day of my birth.

From the day she was born, she's been prepared for this.

Get back!

Get together.

Get up! get him!

Give us the girl or we'll take her!

Give us the girl or we'll take her!

Go back to sleep.

Go! I won't help!

Good idea.

Good.

Grab him! And take him!

Have the Elite guard follow. They will strike at the right moment to help you.

Help! Bombaata, help me!

Here, let me help.

Here. I'll show you. Stand like this.

Hey, wait for me! You know you can't do without me!

Hey!

His horn is his life! Tear out the horn!

His power and his evil are too great!

Hither came Conan, the Cimmerian, sword in hand.

Hold on.

How do we get back up?

How do we get in? Is there another entrance?

How do you attract a man?

How do you feel?

Hurry, hurry.

I believe you. But there's magic in this game

I could teach you how to use this.

I did. I saw it.

I didn't know women could be warriors.

I didn't mean me.

I don't need the captain of the guard to steal a key. That is a task for a thief.

I found something. Let go. Easy.

I have heard of you.

I know when to steal and when not to.

I mean, how do you think flowers grow?

I mean, what's in it for us?

I need a captain of the guards.

I need you!

I need you. I'm yours.

I saw it again. No, you saw nothing.

I saw it.

I saw it...

I see no reason why a woman wouldn't do as well as a man.

I suppose nothing hurts you.

I swear that if Conan will let me ride with him, I will give my life for him.

I think it does. I'm sorry about what happened the last time.

I think we made a friend. Wait here.

I understand that every king or queen must have a fool.

I will have my own kingdom, my own queen.

I will. I won't!

I'll find my kingdom and a queen to sit beside me.

I'll help you. Swing over your head.

I'll spread your head open.

I'm rowing!

In the forehead of Dagoth.

Is this the only way? Yes.

Is this what the world has come to?

It is and it always will be.

It is her destiny.

It is I, his chronicler, who knows well his saga.

It is not wise to have the king of thieves near the treasure.

It is written in the scrolls of Skelos

It takes practice and strength.

It used to be an exit. My cousin's sister's brother dug his way out there,

It will be better. We must rest.

It's all right. Don't be afraid.

It's just writing on a wall.

It's the leader. He's a wizard.

Jehnna will show you.

Jehnna!

Jehnna... Jehnna!

Kill her!

Kill her! Kill her! She must be sacrificed.

Let me help you.

Let the girl come forward. We've been waiting for her all our lives.

Lf there is anything here that you like, try not to take it.

Lf you're going to learn how to fight, then learn with a real weapon.

Life for Valeria.

Ln the morning you will touch the Heart of Ahriman.

Ln there!

Lnto the boat!

Lnto the tunnel.

Look at the shrine.

Look out, you fool!

Look!

Lot on your knife.

Malak, go inside and see if there's a lock.

Malak!

Malak!

Malak! Malak, come on!

Malak?

Meaning no insult to you, Bombaata.

My niece Jehnna has such a mark.

My thinking exactly.

My wound is lower.

No longer.

No one else dare touch it.

No, not him. Conan.

No!

No!

No...

Not on your life.

Not with a toothpick.

Now you're ready to take on anybody.

Now you're ready to take on anybody.

Now, let me tell you of the days of high adventure.

Now, the power is in the wrists.

Now, yell if it hurts.

Oh, Dagoth, god of gods.

Oh, I see. Like this?

One cannot rule without wisdom.

One other thing, Bombaata.

One, two, three... I think you're right.

Only pain.

Only she can lead you to it.

Or been captured. Let's flee.

Or, as the scrolls of Skelos say, a catastrophe will befall us.

Out!

Out! Let's get out of here!

Out! Out of here quick!

Put me down, do you hear me? Put me down!

Reserves to guard the palace.

Rule Shadizar with me.

Run! Run!

Save the girl!

See what you were praying for.

She doesn't look like her, but she has the same... spirit.

She sits by the side of my god.

Shouldn't one of us go back and stand guard?

Show me the desire in your deepest heart.

Sleep.

Sleep.

Sleep.

So I've noticed.

So it was that Conan mourned his lost Valeria.

So she can be properly sacrificed.

So when the key is in my niece's hand, I want your sword in Conan's heart.

Some.

Somebody should stay and watch the horses.

Soon.

Stop.

Strength?

Strength. Strength.

Suppose you set your heart on somebody,

Take him, like that!

Taramis planned it from the beginning.

Taramis planned it from the beginning.

Tell me more about this key.

That a woman child born with a certain mark must make a perilous journey.

That the horn will be found by a woman child.''

That's easy. You see, you just...

That's exactly what I would have done. Exactly.

That's right. They've got to stay loose.

The bars were put up after your sister's brother's cousin escaped!

The castle of Toth Amon. It holds the key.

The Cimmerians have no rulers.

The girl's destiny isn't only to deliver the horn.

The god will live again.

The jewel. Take the jewel.

The kingdom I was promised.

The others are dead. Now it's her turn,

The promise I was kingdomed.

The same... The same...

Then you know what will happen if the horn is placed back

Then you will have your reward.

There are only two left, wizard, and you're behind one of them.

There is a key she must find, a key only she can touch,

There must be hundreds of them around it. We can't get in there.

There was an age undreamed of,

There you are, joined.

They have to... to join.

They love us!

They thought if they digested me, my magic would be in their blood.

This is one of the queen's guards.

Those savages should thank me, sparing them a terrible stomachache.

Threats.

To Dagoth.

To life. To Dagoth.

Today is your birthday. All of Shadizar is celebrating.

Together.

Tomorrow you start your journey.

Too late, my friends.

Until at last he found his own Kingdom

Very ugly.

Wait, Conan, wait!

Wait, wait. This is much better. Akiro's own magic mixture.

Wait!

Wait! It's worth a fortune!

Wait! Wait, wait, wait, wait!

Wait.

Wait. There is a better way to take care of a wizard.

Wake.

We are the keepers of the horn. It belongs to us.

We don't want an infection to spread.

We get the horn, her guards will kill us,

We shall see, destiny or not.

We shall see.

We will drink to Dagoth, the dreaming god.

Welcome.

Well, it seems that men like women warriors.

Well, she said that if she wanted a man, she'd reach out and take him.

Well, you can't say we didn't try.

Weren't you told? There are rules to every game.

What are we? Some charitable institution? We're thieves!

What difference does it make?

What do you want?

What good is a sword against sorcery?

What I mean is...

What I mean is...

What I need you for is to see that this dear child is returned safely to the palace

What I want, you cannot give me.

What is she like, this... Valeria?

What is there, Conan?

What kingdom?

What would you do to get him?

When shining kingdoms lay spread across the world.

Why would they wanna eat someone as old and as sour as you?

Will the world's greatest wizard come forward, please?

With both the treasure and her virginity intact.

Yes.

Yes. He is handsome.

Yes. Please.

Yes. You do it. Try it.

You are welcome.

You don't know what I'd give you if you help me.

You have a queen? But you are a Cimmerian.

You have nothing that I want.

You owe allegiance to no one. Is that not so?

You see, he has to take his... his...

You see, in order for a man to really know a woman

You try to help somebody and what do you get instead of thanks?

You were praying, Conan. What were you praying for?

You will die in the great evil that will come from his rebirth!

You...

You'd better, my friend, for she must be a virgin when she's returned to me,

You'd grab him and... and take him?

You'd grab him and... and take him?

You'll need all your strength. Your destiny is at hand.

You're a barbarian. You live free in the world.

Zula.

A jewel? Yes. The Heart of Ahriman.

And her promise to you? A lie.

And remember. Tell me what I must do.

Be still. Lie down. I saw it.

Bombaata... It's all right.

But we didn't steal everything he had. We didn't have time.

By a wizard? That frightens you.

Do I qualify? More than qualify.

Do you know who I am? Taramis.

He's forcing the mouth open. Well, stop him. Kill him or something.

Hurry, hurry! Quick! Out!

I think we made the merchant angry. Are you surprised?

I'm the leader here. Lead in the morning.

It's only a dream. It's only a dream. No, I saw...

Let me instruct you in the fine art of... Later.

Let me speak to Conan. I said be off.

My dagger is gone. You kill him. Not me. It's bad luck to kill a wizard.

No! Not here! It's us!

No. No?

Not yet. But you have to obey me.

Queen Taramis. Not my queen.

Save her! Thieves should be hanged.

Stop her! Be silent!

The front gate can't be the only way in. Oh, it isn't...

Then you're afraid to go? No. I will find a way.

They've gone. Taken their horses.

though he doesn't yet know it. We don't need him, my queen.

Through this? Yes.

To come with you. Be off!

Valeria! Where is this Valeria?

Valeria... Valeria.

We can't go around it? I go where I feel myself led.

We come in peace. Then let us go in peace.

We leave now. In the morning.

We will control him. No one is able to control him!

Well, can it be worn? Only by me.

What did she do? She came with bandits to raid us.

What did she mean? What did she say?

What do you think you're doing? Covering your wound.

What do you want me to do for you? To bring back the woman you love?

What do you want? I need your help.

What does this key unlock? A treasure.

What for? To stop Jehnna's sacrifice.

What queen? Valeria.

Where are the others? They're coming. Don't worry. go!

Where are we going? To Shadizar.

Where is it? In a castle.

Who are you? Conan.

Who took her? A giant bird.

Why aren't they trying to kill us? Maybe they want to capture us,

Why did they attack us? Not by her order.

Why? I thought you were going to hurt the girl.

With Crom. Your god.

Yes, I can. You can bring back the dead?

You don't have to come. I will.

You mean in there? go!

You mean under the water? You can stay here if you like.

You said your sister's brother's cousin! Who cares who it is?

You. Me?

''A virgin, who will have a mark upon her.''

''And when the horn is placed once more in the forehead of the dreaming god,

''Death to the world.''

''It is written in the scrolls of Skelos

''The woman child will be sacrificed.''

''Then let men fear.''
